It Doesn't Make Sense and Its Costing Us Millions
A Strategic Domestic Abuse Initiative for Human Resource Professionals

It Doesn’t Make Sense and Its Costing Us Millions DVD“Lost workdays and lost productivity are known as the biggest siphons of corporate profitability we have. These siphons usually are created by things that are happening outside the workplace. Small changes have the biggest results, and employers are in the unique position to make those changes; simultaneously they must ensure state and federal compliance.” Stephanie Angelo

HR Certification InstituteThis program has been approved for 1.5 (Specified -Strategic) recertification credit hours toward PHR, SPHR and GPHR recertification through the HR Certification Institute.

Family abuse/violence is a subject that is not easily addressed because there are many people who deny its existence or the magnitude. Many people have trouble facing the possibility of having to deal with the serious effects it has on their employees personally and professionally; and that the organization, in turn, pays the price.

This program illustrates the costs to the business bottom line. Participants leave with a view of cost affected areas, a violence prevention plan, look at case histories and learn how to proactively achieve non-abuse through strategies to create a legally compliant, healthier, safer workforce.

Attendees will:

  • learn how the organization is affected
  • discuss violence prevention policies
  • review mandated laws
  • strengthen legal defense
  • learn how to increase loss prevention
  • identify the real ROI of responding to domestic violence
  • explore HR best practices for addressing intimate partner violence

Serrated:
A True Story of Survival, Recovery and the Pursuit of Justice

Serrated: A True Story of Survival, Recovery and the Pursuit of Justiceby Stephanie Angelo and Tracy Stombres

Her father died of an overdose when she was two. Unable to cope with the loss, her mother turned to drugs and alcohol, leaving Tracy in the care of grandparents. Nothing in Tracy’s life was easy or normal. Homeless as a teenager, she became a stripper to support herself. When Frank sweeps her off her feet she can finally have the life she’d been aching for. She didn’t know about his controlling and abusive personality.

What happens to Tracy then is so horrifying that your urge to set down the book, and catch your breath, will be overcome by your need to read what happens next.

Tracy cuts to the chase in this true crime memoir. She’s honest and straight-forward as only a woman who has survived this kind of trauma can be.

Serrated is a powerful story, and one that we must hear, because it shows what happened to an intelligent, articulate, courageous battered woman who did everything right, while the system designed to protect her did everything wrong. Serrated guides us toward solutions, helping us to see that we must stop blaming victims and start repairing our communities. An unforgettable story.”

- Lundy Bancroft
Expert on Offender behaviors, author of Why Does He Do That? - Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men and several other books on the subject

“This book, the true-life story of Tracy Stombres, will horrify you, enlighten you, and inspire you.”

Ellen Taliaferro, MD
Physician expert on domestic violence and emergency room treatment, author of The Physician's Guide to Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse, A reference for all health care professionals and other books on the subject

“Justice is the driving need for crime victims regardless of whether it is in the criminal or civil justice systems. Both are about obtaining a sense of hope, justice, and healing. In Serrated, Tracy poignantly chronicles the heart wrenching emotions oscillating within an abuse victim and demystifies the public perceptions and stereotypes that often plague domestic violence victims, too often preventing them from obtaining a full measure of justice. Tracy's story is an example of how far we have come, and how far we still have to go.”

About the Book

This book is a comprehensive guide on how domestic violence in the workplace can impact the whole organization and influence the lives of others, beyond the target of the violence. A company can benefit by implementing a domestic violence-prevention program and it will:

  • Have a positive impact on the bottom line of the company;
  • Train the company’s top performing managers to be the appropriate “go-to” person in dealing with issues that may carry-over into the workplace.
  • Enable all employees to recognize the signs and deal with them appropriately.

Domestic violence is the five-hundred pound Gorilla in the room no one wants to talk about. The problem is, we not only need to talk about DV, we need to take positive steps to deal with a problem that impacts more families than we know. Stephanie makes a terrific point in this book that the obvious place to raise awareness and take steps to deal with DV is the workplace. Since we spend as much time in the workplace as we with our families, this is the perfect venue to raise awareness and offer assistance.

I know Stephanie Angelo's passion for raising employer’s awareness of this serious social issue. I also know Stephanie as a knowledgeable and caring HR professional. She has the background, the expertise and the methodologies to help you and your organization deal with Domestic Violence in very positive ways. I think "Going Purple" is an initiative every HR Director in the country should adopt.

Les Taylor, Assistant Chief of Police (Ret)
Former Executive Director of the Arizona Association of Chiefs of Police


The workplace is often the only place of safety and support known to victims of domestic violence. Stephanie Angelo has created a manager’s guide and comprehensive plan to ensure that workplaces are equipped to respond quickly and effectively to victim needs, thus maintaining their own productivity and human capital.
